In Sonic Frontiers, Knight is a massive Titan boss that the blue hedgehog battles while in Super Sonic form. There are many different effective strategies for taking him down during his numerous appearances throughout the experience. This includes The Final Horizon update. Here is how to beat Knight.
Before the Fight
Before you start fighting Knight, you’ll have to reach the part where he is vulnerable. While on the ground in regular blue hedgehog form, stay as far to the edge of the arena as possible, ensuring you are protected from Knight’s spike attacks.
Eventually, he will lower his arm containing the grind rails Sonic needs to reach the top and start the fight. Boost and run towards the fallen hand, but be sure to jump over the spikes along the way. Run up along his body until you reach his head.
He will spin around the arena. Start hitting him until you get on the spinning disc by pressing the proper QTE button displayed on-screen, then hop on and drive it straight into his face.
Phase 1
Note: Your ability to succeed against Knight while preserving as many rings as possible primarily depends on your ability to time parry. To make this easier, consider lowering the game’s difficulty in Settings.
Begin the fight by continuously attacking Knight’s head, avoiding the rest of his body so you can prepare to parry when he swings his sword.
Once you are sent back, Knight will prepare to attack. Wait 1-2 seconds, then perform a parry to block the sword. This will let you swoop right back in and keep attacking.
Rinse and repeat. You’ll know the first phase is finished when you watch a cutscene of Super Sonic zipping all around the boss and hitting Knight from every angle.
Phase 2
At around 45% health, Knight will throw the spinning disc again at Super Sonic. Wait just a second before it’s about to hit you, then perform a parry to knock it back into the boss. It may take several tries because Knight will be moving and the disc needs to be aimed towards him.
Knocking the disc back into the boss will stun Knight and allow you to fly close and start hitting his head again. Rinse and repeat the process until the end where you simply need to perform a QTE in a short cutscene to finish the fight.
